This French comedy spoofing spy films, specially James Bond of the 60's where the story is set. The humor is hard to translate but the performance of Jean Dujardin as the clueless secret agent is spot on as is the production using the same techniques used in the 50's and 60's. There are some funny moment in this stylish film that's more admirable for its attempt since the concept is not entirely new and has been done many times before from Casino Royale in the 60's to the Austin Powers films in the 90's and so on. YRCinema's coverage of films on DVD.
